The first sip makes me think of celery tonic. So does the tenth sip. Light and fluffy with an unusual aromatic flavor. Not so much spiced as infused with something. There is a touch of lemon as well as cucumber. Quite dry but without any hint of yeasty flavors. Overall the taste is rather faint.

I guess this one's a matter of personal taste. It seems well made but to me it has a peculiar flavor that doesn't compare to the multitude of "regular" Witbiers. From the 750 corked bottle purchased for ten bucks at Ibis Food Mart in San Diego.

Bottle pour at the BevMo Holiday Beerfest held at Golden Road Brewing in Los Angeles, CA.

Pours a murky light yellow with a foamy white head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, grain, citrus zest, spices, and herbs. Taste is much the same with a mild spice bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer that is easy to drink.

Found this at the local beer cave picked it up for giggles. All in all I say its pretty good I can't say great because I am not a huge fan of fruity beers. Which leads to flavor lots of citrus in the taste and smell mildly like lemon with orange on the back. Poured really well a little bit of grain in the texture overall a pretty good beer just will not be more then an every once in awhile drink for me.

Cloudy white grape color, soapy inch thick head, webbed lacing around the glass. The nose is fruity, in a tart, lemony way. Soft, and on the lively side.

It's refreshing, but the flavor is rather one dimensional. Again, it has a sweet lemon flavor, and there's a touch of graininess. The label says that it is brewed with spices, but I'm having a difficult time tasting them. Its body is soft, delicate, and is an okay choice for a witbier. Too bad 750's run for $9.49.

A: The beer is slightly hazy light yellow in color and poured with a thin white head that has good retention properties and never faded away. A moderate amount of carbonation is visible.
S: There are light aromas of lemon citrus and coriander in the nose.
T: The taste is very similar to the smell and is quite lemony but doesn’t really have much wheat flavors compared to other witbiers.
M: It feels light-bodied and smooth on the palate and has a moderate to high amount of carbonation.
O: The beer is very refreshing and almost tastes like a sorbet.

Amadeus is still one of my favorite beers. This is a white beer with a mellow carbonation and mild flavoring in the tradition of white Belgian ales. The downside is the access to this fine beer. But if you desire a white beer that is mellow in texture and flavors with some noticeable spice then this may be the beer for you

I compared Amadeus head to head with Hoegaarden, which I also love, the heads were about the same. Hoegaarden is a little more cloudy as opposed to Amadeus French clarity. Amadeus is less citrusy & and more dry. I find Amadeus a nice thirst quencher for summers.

What I like about Amadeus best is the subtle mellow flavor and carbonation. Amadeus leaves you more open to the the spices such as the chamomile or whatever really come to the forefront and linger very nicely in the after taste.

So enjoy this amazing white beer during France's Euro Cup rainy rainy match before some poor soul gets struck by lightning. This beer also goes well with Dvorak's New World Symphony. I also think the sounds of French guitar genius Raymond Boni who most Americans are totally unaware of, but should check out ... he plays with Joe Mcphee on a few cds. Boni is the best guitarist since Django.

A pale yellow-orange pour puts out a boisterous white head that diminishes slowly, and ultimately ending in a thick, cumulus cloud-like covering. A few wide swathes of lace linger around the glass.

Smells lemony and malty with a nice sweet bread backbone along with some clove and candied sugar floating around. Very complex. Let's hope the palate experiences the same. Tastes grainy with a squirt of lemon and not much spice. Tanginess is just right.

Body is weaker and drier than I was hoping for, especially considering the depth of the bouquet. Subsequent pulls do however open things up and reveal a bit of welcomed spice and a lemon cookie yeast.

This one is off the charts easy drinking, although the body and taste suffers a bit secondarily.

750 ML Corked bottle. Freshness date stamped on back. Served in a tall Weisse Glass.
It pours a hazy milky lemonade color with a very fast-fading snowy white head. Some thin wispy lacing trails and dissolves.
Nice lemony and peppery smells rise at first pour. A light smell of bread dough, cloves and orange zest inch forward. Is that cardamom in the distance?
The flavors mirror the aromas in nearly every way. The tart, astringent lemon taste is perhaps a bit too over the top, but it does cut through and declare its dominance.
An odd peppery saline is noticed in the after taste, then seems to vanish. It could be the bottom of bottle sediment. I need to try this one again to be sure.

This is quite a light beer. Light color, light taste, light feel. But it does this well.

Lemonade looking, a bit cloudy. The head gives it away; it ain't lemonade.

Yet its aroma is zesty and citrus. Very light malt undertones. Some...some coriander.

Light taste. Lemony. Maybe this IS lemonade. A healthy portion of spice and some minty-ness makes this quite refreshing. The carbonation could use a boost. ABV is excellent for a quenching summer beer.
Overall it's good; not the best Wit, but it does the trick

This one is just flat out missing the malt. Very light wheat flavor, some yeast, but this is all lemon and some white pepper and maybe some cardamon. Watery thin strength of flavor. Tart lemon thru to the finish. Light bitterness.

Light bodied, ok carbonation, but a little watery.

Bought $9 bomber. Ugh. This is not something I'll get again. Glad it is a hot day -- will chug in front of the grill.

T: Holy lemon, batman! Lemon citrus esters join with the barley foundation to form a sort of faux-lemon lime beer, a bit like a certain American soft drink that I can't quite recall the name of. Very simple and a bit artificial; I suspect the esters are from syrups. That said, it does what it can to be refreshing. For what it's trying to do, it works.

Mf: Nicely coarse and wet. Sort of suits the flavours on the body.

Dr: Average ABV, decent price, and easy drinkability. Give her a spin, lads.

The lemon flavor, almost to exaggeration, the nose of the beer, much more than common characteristic of a Witbier, who also appears quite lemony. The first mouth, however, leaves a slight citrus hand over her mouth to deliver a body too thin, very watery and the obvious lack of spices. This lemon zest back on the aftertaste but it is far from memorable, far from it. A bit like if we had put in a low quality Witbier two fingers of lemon concentrate.

From the corked 750 ml. bottle marked 112811-L 19207. Sampled on November 19, 2010. The pour has a definite pale yellow-white appearance with a thin, short-lasting fizzy head. Cloudy. The aroma is more of pineapple than anything else. I noted a little wheat in there but the citrus-pineapple scent was front and center. The taste also has a tart, citrus-like sensation with a more notable wheat drop as well as some distant barley malts and hops. Not much in the way of spices. This reminds me of a summer ale.

A: Poured a pleasant straw-like color with some slight haziness to it with one finger of fluffy white head that dissipated quickly and left no lacing what so ever.

S: Distinct lemon nose with some fruit, possibly green apple. The aroma made you begin to salivate with anticipation as to what may come.

T: Definite lemon up front with a bitter lemon zest note that followed. Some hint of coriander, but it was light and almost mistakable. Little there besides lemon. This ale was closer to a shandy than a white beer due to the predominance of fruit flavor. I missed the wheat notes and lively carbonation I was expecting to see given the style of this beer.

M: Very light and thin. Lacked the carbonation to raise the ratings in this category.

D: This is a highly drinkable brew. My comment would be that the reason for drinking it really isn't justified though. It is almost more like a very dilute lemonade with a slight amount of carbonation. Pretty much a let down.

Bottled version. Pours out a nice hazy lemony yellow. Nice carbonation. The lacy white head soon goes away. The flavor is more on the lemon side of citrus, compared to a Hoegaarden or Alagash White. Mouthfeel is thin and slighty sweet. The finish is on the tart side but this is a very refreshing brew! I cannot get that 80s song by Falco out of my head now "Amadeus, Amadeus!"

Light straw colored with ample white foam. This may be the closest to white of any Witbier I've had.

Fresh lemons on the nose balanced by some light coriander.

Big hit of lemon up front, almost as if some lemon juice was actually squeezed into the beer. Behind that coriander and a nice musty, twangy wheat character show up. Airy with some creaminess in the mouth. Big flavored for a lower ABV beer.

If you like the tart lemony goodness, which I do, then this beer is definitely worth a try. Either way, most would probably agree this is a somewhat unique take on the style considering how many wits line the shelves. This may be one of the most purely refreshing beers I've had outside of a well-made Berliner Weisse.

Very citrus-forward palate entry with orange zest, light yeast notes, and a hint of wheat for balance. Fairly sweet overall - reminding me of a good American wheat ale more than a traditional witbier in some ways. The finish is unusual, suggesting fresh raw oysters and a shot of limoncello.

Poured with a nice medium sized white, foamy, frothy head and a little lace. Color is a very faded, hazy pale yellow - lemonadish. Aroma is a nice rose floral quality with some apice and some malt. Flavor is huge lemon. Body is good and so is carbonation. Finish is dominated by the lemon. Could be a session beer.

A- Amazing head and lacing. Looks like fresh, powdery snow. Color is impossibly pale... could pass for white grape juice. I've never seen a paler beer. Still, the lacing and head is outstanding.

S- Very sweet, peachy, coriander is mild but not hidden. Typical, but nice.

T- Impossibly light... the lightest beer I've ever had. Flavor is here, spot on to the nose... but damn... where's the beer? I am baffled with this one. Peachy, mild yeast and spice notes, standard wit/white... but threw me for a loop. Like a Belgian 3:2 beer.

M- Way too thin, could confuse with water. Hmm.

D- Like water, so fairly high. @ $4 and change for a 750, I'd buy it again... although this could be one of the strangest beers I've ever had.
